Juventus face punishment due to racist chants aimed at Koulibaly
What's the story
Cristiano Ronaldo provided three assists as Juventus came from behind to defeat Napoli in a thrilling Serie A encounter between these two top clubs of Italy.
However, an unpleasant news is making the headlines, and this is something that spells trouble for Juventus officials.
It has been reported that racist slurs were chanted by Juventus fans, aimed at Napoli's Koulibaly.
Report
Italian Football Federation observers had reported the incident
Media outlet Gazzetta dello Sport reported that officials of the Italian Football Federation were sitting across the stadium and they heard the chants.
They stated that the racist chants were directed towards Napoli defender Koulibaly.
Moreover, fans of Juventus were also heard calling their former manager and presently Napoli's manager Carlo Ancelotti 'a pig'.
Observation
Say no to racism: Such behavior is unacceptable
Racism is one of the worst things we can witness in sports.
On the field, the color of your skin, your religion- nothing should matter, and only how you perform should be the testimony to who you are.
Racism has no place in sports and should always be dealt with in the strongest possible manner.
Juventus should offer an unconditional apology to Koulibaly.
Information
What punishment are Juventus likely to face?
After the racist chants against Koulibaly, the home ground of Juventus, the Allianz Stadium, is likely to remain partially closed for at least one match. The disciplinary report is set to be released later today.
